Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Lectures on Horsemanship In all branches of human science and strife, it is of great importance, to search for the origin of what we recognize as being a weighty factor in the evolution of the universe. An original idea, which in the course of centuries given rise to might facts, has often lain dormant in the chaos of changing times and circumstances, because the general tide of affairs prevented its growth. The human mind often requires an incentive to awaken its innate vigor to consciousness, and only then does it ascend on the wings of knowledge, to the creation of all things beautiful and great, in honor of itself and for the benefit of humanity. "Let there be light!" was the command of God, which caused the chaos of the world to pass into a state of harmonious order. Light caused the functions of the universe to act and unrestrained they go on crushing all, that stands in the way of knowledge and progress. In this progressive course errors separate themselves and allows us to distinguish truth from untruth. May the light of truth open the way for, and encourage in their efforts men of perseverance, who arouse themselves from the lassitude of everyday life, to independent thought and action, in the pursuit of greater knowledge. The battle between merit and mediocrity, requires courage and endurance, even self denial and sacrifice, because mediocrity is supported by the indiscriminating majority, who know of nothing better and in their mental indolence desire nothing new; while the advocates of merit, being in the minority, are unable to overcome the lethargy of the masses. Only the continued appeal to the intellectual, and faith in the overwhelming power of the enlightened mind, will maintain the courage of those, who are called upon to continue the strife for that, which emanated from the tests of experience and scientific investigation. Equipped with the results of indefatigable study of a life time and undeniable experience in the field of the art of riding. I have undertaken the task of bringing before the educated world these lectures, which are caculated to demonstrate that, like in every other art or science, a high standard can be reached in the art of riding if the same amount of love and constant application is given it, as is the case for instance with music, painting and other arts.
